Anemonopsis
Anemonopsis is a genus with one species, Anemonopsis macrophylla (false anemone), a woodland herbaceous perennial from Japan that bears pale lavender, bowl-shaped flowers in late summer. Its key to growing is cool, moist, shaded conditions with protection from drying wind.
Anemonopsis, the false anemone, is a monotypic genus in the family Ranunculaceae, containing only the species Anemonopsis macrophylla, endemic to Japan's main island of Honshu.
The generic name Anemonopsis refers to it being Anemone-like (-opsis), and its specific epithet macrophylla means "large-leaved".
Like many other herbaceous perennials from Japan, Anemonopsis demands summer moisture, but resents excessively wet conditions in winter. It is thus much more easily grown in continental climate of the eastern United States and Canada than in the Mediterranean climate of the Pacific Northwest.
